 Nope.  You're wrong.  He wasn't referring to windows message queues, he 
was referring to MSMQ.  You'll find that MSMQ has GUID

   Interface UUID: 77df7a80-f298-11d0-8358-00a024c480a8
   Interface Ver: 1
   Interface Ver Minor: 0

and that opnums 6, 7 and 8 are quite clearly MQLocateBegin, MQLocateNext and 
MQLocateEnd.  Try passing an overly-long string as an MQRESTRICTION to the 
MQLocateBegin function, and you'll find a unicode heap overflow in mqsvc.exe 
that lets you overwrite an arbitrary address with an arbitrary long.

 You'll also find that this works in w2k sp2, and not in sp4; I haven't 
tested sp3 yet.  Looks like they quietly fixed it up without any great 
publicity.....

 If anyone needs further convincing, I'll tidy up and post my p-o-c code, 
but I think it's pretty clear from his words that he meant MSMQ and not the 
underlying win32 api.
